I have noticed the m68k "net/apne" driver. I don't know its history,
but they're certainly aware of my package, because they've apparently
copied parts of my header files (without attribution). The driver
appears to support only a small subset of NE2000 compatible PCMCIA
cards (maybe a subset of one).

As for other architectures, my PCMCIA package is already being used on
the alpha and powerpc platforms.
